Seasonal highlights

Spring is the best time to visit the famous Botanical Gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle in Merano. The Touriseum center there gives interesting insight into the history of the place, while the blossoming plants and flowers, local and exotic, make for a simply breathtaking spectacle.


If you love hiking AND music, you should definitely pay a visit to the yearly Gompmalm Festival in July, which attracts many international rock, blues and pop acts and has become an indispensable feature of the music scene in South Tyrol.



The Merano Music Weeks is another summer event in August and September, which attracts internationally renowned artists and musicians – this very special combination of classical and modern music, nature and lifestyle is not to be missed!



In winter, there is also no need to hide inside one’s four walls, with many cultural attractions such as the municipal theater, the eclectic range of museums, and last but not least the immensely popular Merano Christmas Market, the best place for a warm cup of mulled wine.
